What is the format of a fire NOC application?

In 17 states and UTs it is the official form the fire rules or service publish: Form B in Bihar, Form A-11 in Uttar Pradesh, Form A9 in Sikkim, Form D in Nagaland and Manipur, a 17-item form in Puducherry. You fill it, attach what it lists and sign its declaration.

How do I write a fire NOC application letter?

Write it only as a covering letter to the prescribed form, or where an office still takes paper, such as Odisha's recommendation. Give the addressee, the subject with the form number, the building's class, height and area, its fire systems, the enclosures and a signed declaration.

To whom should a fire NOC application be addressed?

To the officer the rules name: the Director, State Fire Service, Bihar, Patna; the Inspector General in Kohima for Nagaland; the Director in Imphal for Manipur; the district's In-charge Fire and Emergency Service in Uttar Pradesh and Sikkim.

Is the Tamil Nadu fire licence application a form?

Yes. Appendix III of the Tamil Nadu Fire Service Rules, 1990 is the licence application, and Appendix IV is the licence itself. Plan-stage NOCs run through the state's single window portal.

Can someone else sign my fire NOC application?

Only with your authority. Uttar Pradesh allows a family member or regular employee holding a power of attorney, Sikkim an authorised representative, and Haryana asks for an authorisation letter with the employee's ID proof.

Is there a format for a fire NOC renewal application?

Yes, renewals have their own forms: Form M in Bihar, Form D1 in Nagaland and Manipur, Form XII in Assam, Form R in Goa, Form-VI with Form-III in Odisha and Form I in Delhi. A letter can only cover them.

What should I do if my fire NOC application is returned with defects?

Reply point by point within the time in the notice, with proof of each fix, and ask for a re-inspection. Nagaland's Form D asks for a para-wise compliance report, and Uttar Pradesh restores an application once the objection is met.

Do I need stamp paper for a fire NOC application?

Not for the application itself. Undertakings may need it: Rs 50 for Goa's Form U and Rs 100 for Andhra Pradesh's Form 17. Tripura dropped affidavits for its self-certification forms in October 2026.

How to write an application for fire NOC, step by step

Find the prescribed form before writing anything
Look up your state's form number in the table above. 17 states and UTs publish one; Bihar's Form B is even laid out as a letter, so the form is the letter.
Decide who applies and who signs
Sign as the owner or occupier, or attach a power of attorney or authorisation letter. Uttar Pradesh and Sikkim let only the owner or an authorised representative pursue the file.
Classify the building
Pick one occupancy class: Puducherry's form offers 9, from residential to hazardous, and counts 50 or more people as assembly. The class decides every later answer.
Write the building in figures
Height including the stilt floor in metres, plot, plinth and covered area in m², floors and basements, set-backs on all 4 sides, and occupants.
List the fire systems and the water
Name each system installed or proposed, from extinguishers to sprinklers, with pump capacity and tank litres; Puducherry asks for pump bills.
Attach only what the form lists
Puducherry prints 7 attachments, Andaman and Nicobar 5, Uttar Pradesh 6. The full state lists are on the fire NOC documents page.
Sign the declaration and keep the number
Date and sign the printed declaration, then keep the acknowledgement: the NOC-UID in Uttar Pradesh, the reference number on Mizoram's portal.

What 9 official fire NOC application forms ask, field by field

Read from the official PDFs on 24 October 2026 (Bihar, Puducherry, Andaman and Nicobar) and from the rules that print the other forms. Bihar's forms PDF starts at Form B, so Form A was not read.

Enclosures printed on the face of fire NOC application forms

These are the attachments the forms themselves list, 8 forms in all. The longer state checklists, by stage, are on the fire NOC documents page.

Bihar Form B: 2 sets of the building plan at not less than 1:200, signed by a civil or structural engineer, an architect and the owner or builder, plus 2 sets each of site, floor, terrace, section and elevation plans Bihar Fire Service
Bihar Form B: a bank draft for the fixed charges, a typed checklist with no corrections, and an affidavit on 10 heads, (a) to (j) Bihar Fire Service

The certificate at the foot of Bihar's fire NOC application checklist

Every official form ends with a signed statement. Bihar's, below its 45-head checklist, is the most explicit about what a wrong answer costs.

Word for word

It is certified that the information given above are correct. No information has been concealed, misrepresented or falsified. I understand that in the event of any wrong information provided in the above check list, the provisional/ final NOC is liable to be withdrawn/ cancelled by State Fire Service.

Bihar Fire Service Rules, 2021, Form C, check list related to building plan (for provisional or final NOC), page 52 Bihar Fire Service

It is signed by the architect, engineer, builder, electrical contractor or fire safety system coordinator, not only the owner. Puducherry's form closes with a one-line declaration of the same kind, and Mizoram's Form G warns that wrong information makes the NOC liable to be withdrawn.

Why fire NOC applications are returned: errors officers flag on the form

Uttar Pradesh publishes its objection points and Bihar prints its own warnings on the form. These 8 errors come from them and from the rules.

If The wrong occupancy chosen on the form
It heads UP's published list of objection points; classify from the NBC chart before filling in anything else. UP Verify NOC
If Systems the occupancy needs missing from the answers
UP's list goes on: sprinklers, detection, hydrants, pumps and tanks, extinguishers to IS 2190, basement smoke extraction, refuge area, PA system and exit signage. UP Verify NOC
If A checklist with corrections or overwriting
Bihar's Form B asks for a neatly typed checklist without any corrections and interpolations. Print it again. Bihar Fire Service
If Figures copied from the sanctioned map instead of measured
UP assesses on the actual covered area, height, hazard and occupancy, not merely the sanctioned map (rule 43(8)(i)). UP Rules 2024
If A gas, chemical or explosives store filed on the building form
Assam has a form per premises: Form II for gases, Form VIII for chemicals, Form IX for explosives. Sewa Setu Assam
If A plan defect left uncorrected
Bihar may reject a plan not corrected within 30 days; a resubmission after a Form F rejection pays no second fee. Bihar Rules 2021
If An objection left unanswered
Answer within the notice time and UP restores the application; a rejection means a fresh Form A-11. UP Rules 2024
If Renewal filed after the printed expiry in Assam
The portal sends an expired certificate back to apply afresh, at the full fee instead of 10%. Fire and Emergency Services, Assam

Fire NOC application myths: letters, stamp paper and agents

You may have read
You apply by writing a letter to the fire officer.
Myth
What the sources say
17 states and UTs publish an official form, and West Bengal and Himachal have refused paper since 2017. A letter is the application only in a few offices, such as Odisha's recommendation stage. WB F&ES order 1376
You may have read
The application must be on stamp paper.
Myth
What the sources say
Only undertakings are: Rs 50 for Goa's Form U and Rs 100 for Andhra Pradesh's Form 17. UP's online application costs nothing. DFES Goa
You may have read
Any agent can file and chase the application.
Myth
What the sources say
UP lets only the owner, or a family member or regular employee with a power of attorney, pursue it, and a tout faces up to 3 months. UP Act 16 of 2022
You may have read
A renewal is just a letter asking for more time.
Myth
What the sources say
Renewals have their own forms: Bihar Form M, Nagaland and Manipur Form D1, Assam Form XII, Goa Form R, Odisha Form-VI, Delhi Form I. Bihar Rules 2021
You may have read
Copying the figures from the sanctioned map is enough.
Myth
What the sources say
Uttar Pradesh assesses on the actual covered area, height, hazard and occupancy (rule 43(8)(i)). UP Rules 2024

Don't let a middleman chase the file in Sikkim: rule 29(1) allows only the owner or an authorised representative. Sikkim F&ES Rules 2025
Don't file a hand-corrected checklist in Bihar: it must be typed, without corrections. Bihar Fire Service

Fire NOC application formats Flamekite could not confirm

7 gaps on 24 October 2026. Where a form is not published, Flamekite says so rather than borrowing another state's.

Delhi, fresh certificate today: No numbered form for a fresh certificate under the rules in force was found; Form H applies only from 20 May 2027. DFS
Goa, Initial NOC form: The inspection procedure calls it Form I and the flowchart Form-P. Both are DFES documents, so both names are shown. Goa DFES flowchart
Sikkim, renewal form: Rule 31(1) says renew on Form A-11, which is the certificate form; Form A9 is the application for provisional, final or renewed certificates. File Form A9 and quote the rule. Sikkim F&ES Rules 2025
Bihar, Form A: The 2021 Rules letter forms from A, but the official forms PDF begins at Form B on page 39; Form A was not read. Bihar Fire Service
Nagaland portal form: The NFES online form sits behind a mobile OTP registration, which Flamekite did not use, so its fields are not listed; the paper Form D is. NFES registration
Ladakh, owner's application: The 2025 Rules print agency Forms I to IV but no owner's application form. Gazette notification S.O. 140
Tripura, 2021 Forms A to C: The older application forms are a scanned PDF of 28 January 2021 with no text layer; not read, and replaced by the 2026 Rules. Directorate of Fire and Emergency Services, Tripura

Questions about the fire NOC application format

What is the format of a fire NOC application?: In 17 states and UTs it is the official form the fire rules or service publish: Form B in Bihar, Form A-11 in Uttar Pradesh, Form A9 in Sikkim, Form D in Nagaland and Manipur, a 17-item form in Puducherry. You fill it, attach what it lists and sign its declaration.
How do I write a fire NOC application letter?: Write it only as a covering letter to the prescribed form, or where an office still takes paper, such as Odisha's recommendation. Give the addressee, the subject with the form number, the building's class, height and area, its fire systems, the enclosures and a signed declaration.
To whom should a fire NOC application be addressed?: To the officer the rules name: the Director, State Fire Service, Bihar, Patna; the Inspector General in Kohima for Nagaland; the Director in Imphal for Manipur; the district's In-charge Fire and Emergency Service in Uttar Pradesh and Sikkim.
Is the Tamil Nadu fire licence application a form?: Yes. Appendix III of the Tamil Nadu Fire Service Rules, 1990 is the licence application, and Appendix IV is the licence itself. Plan-stage NOCs run through the state's single window portal.
Can someone else sign my fire NOC application?: Only with your authority. Uttar Pradesh allows a family member or regular employee holding a power of attorney, Sikkim an authorised representative, and Haryana asks for an authorisation letter with the employee's ID proof.
Is there a format for a fire NOC renewal application?: Yes, renewals have their own forms: Form M in Bihar, Form D1 in Nagaland and Manipur, Form XII in Assam, Form R in Goa, Form-VI with Form-III in Odisha and Form I in Delhi. A letter can only cover them.
What should I do if my fire NOC application is returned with defects?: Reply point by point within the time in the notice, with proof of each fix, and ask for a re-inspection. Nagaland's Form D asks for a para-wise compliance report, and Uttar Pradesh restores an application once the objection is met.
Do I need stamp paper for a fire NOC application?: Not for the application itself. Undertakings may need it: Rs 50 for Goa's Form U and Rs 100 for Andhra Pradesh's Form 17. Tripura dropped affidavits for its self-certification forms in October 2026.
